Default A Parker lifter in a game painting

Today I finally had the opportunity to view the “Duck Duck Shoot” waterfowl exhibit at the Genesee Country Village & Museum. The exhibit is in their sporting art gallery and is nearing the end of its showing term. I think it is up for another month or so.

The exhibit includes art, decoys, clothing, accessories and a number of guns. Including a punt boat with a couple of punt guns. The Parker 8g hammer gun in the exhibit is owned by our Craig Larter. It was a very enjoyable and well presented exhibit!

Anyway, one large painting in the exhibit clearly features a Parker lifter. The gun is very detailed and accurately depicted. I assume that the piece is part of the museums usual collection and not on loan.
